Maryland Wrestling Hosts Eighth Annual Golf Outing

Head Coach Kerry McCoy and the Maryland wrestling team will host their eighth annual Maryland golf outing on Friday, August 30 at the University of Maryland Golf Course.

The shogun start is set for 8 a.m. Registration and breakfast will begin at 7 a.m.

Director of Athletics Kevin Anderson, McCoy and the 2013-14 Maryland wrestling team will be in attendance for a day of golf prior to the much-anticipated 2013-14 season.

“This is the eighth year we will be hosting the Maryland wrestling golf outing,” McCoy said. “We appreciate everyone’s support of our student-athletes and wrestling program. This is always a great opportunity to raise awareness of our program and reconnect with our fans prior to getting ready for our upcoming season.”

McCoy has reason to be excited as his talented roster returns three seniors who have each captured a pair of ACC championships in their very competitive division – Jimmy Sheptock, Spencer Myers and Christian Boley. In addition, Boley advanced to the NCAA Round of 12 last season.

“We’re looking forward to having a good year and making our last year in the ACC a memorable one,” McCoy said. “One of our team goals is to win the program’s 25th ACC Championship.”

McCoy is also excited about the return of a pair of NCAA qualifiers from last year’s team: junior Geoffrey Alexander and senior Frank Goodwin. In addition, McCoy expects sophomore Shyheim Brown to play a prominent role at the 141 weight division for Maryland this season
